LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE complications
which have arisen between Austria and
Russia are becoming more and more diff
flcult of solution, and are undoubtedly
the outcome of the recent interview in
Berlin between Prince Bismarck and
the ear. Notwithstanding the aSser-
tons of the German press that none of
the publications purpOrting to state the
substance of that interview is correct
Ill single particular, suspicion has
arisen from the tenor of recent Official
correspondence by mail and by tele-
graph, from the information obtained
by several reliable correspondents and
from the tone of the various continental
bourSeS, that the car quilted the Ger
man capital in towering rage fomented
by the aggressiveneSs of the iron chan
cellor. A correspondent gives the fol-
lowing version of what occurred be-

definitely decide Austria'S position, but
single-handed Austria would have no
better chance of success against Russia
than she had in her memorable attempt
TO chastiSe Prussia. . a.
PRESIDENT CARNOT
still delays the formation of a new
Fren4h ministry, until the republican
factions reach more definite agree
ment.. He is determined that they shall
concentrate their strength and ulti-
mateiy they will do so. 1t is scarcely
possible that they will fail of this, in
view of the pledges already made by
several Of the group presidents and the
establishment of cabinet is believed
to be only question of a few days
Judge Holmes, OF the Irish court of
queens bench, has granted a conditional
order setting aside Mr. Sections election
and qualifying acts to the Office of lord
mayor of Dublin, and the matter of that
gentleman'S taking his seat depends en-
tirely on the ultimate decision of the
court when the order is returned and
argued. The grounds for declaring Mr..
Sexton are that he has violated the
crimes act. and in his capacity as high
sheriff neglected or refused to perform
all of the functions attached to his office.
